A Blustery Night

Today's snow is beautiful, like one not seen in many years. White and frothy and windy, sticking to the sides of the windows and blowing adrift for miles. If this was Christmas morning t'would truly be a winter wonderland.

Like mortar, the snow fills the spaces between the bricks across the highway, outlining and beautifying their structure. Tiny natural crystals dressing an unnatural structure.

The traffic is very limited here, a truck or utility vehicle once or twice every five minutes and that's all. Although it's hard to tell how much snow has landed, it appears to be at least six inches with a solid ground covering, certainly enough to make travel treacherous.

So, day-time snow or night snow? I prefer night snow because all the amazingness happens whilst I rest my head and I awake to a wonderful surprise in the morning, the world (my world that is) has been blanketed with a soft and wonderful powder of imagination, making even the most grim expanses look beautiful. I'm talking NB here people :-)

As the snow continues to burst from the sky we will see how today lays out. Maybe it'll be a day home, or maybe it'll be a crazy day away, but either way it'll be a Blustery Night that turned into a Blustery Day.

What to expect?

What is a young man to expect when he walks into fatherhood? What am I to expect when walking into a hospital only a husband but walking out, wife's hand in hand, both a husband and a father?

Well, I do not know what will happen or what will change, but I am truly excited about the prospect. I can't think of anything in life I've wanted more than to have a child, and now not only will we hopefully have a healthy baby, it will be with the woman of my dreams.

So, back to the question, what to expect?

Am I to expect late nights, no nights and early mornings? No more quiet a.m. coffee? Or late night runs to MW2? Maybe so, maybe definitely so, but it'll be alright and by the first minute little D is born, I don't think I'll give it two thoughts.

So, what to expect, still unsure, but I'll be ready to be unprepared.

What to do?

So, I guess the question is generally what should I do, what do I do here? Life can go in so many directions it's often quite confusing what one should do.

I believe that we should follow our feet wherever they lead us to happiness, follow them right, left, behind, up, down, forward, wherever it takes because it takes us wherever we need to be. And for me, for now, it's this blog, this outward reaching to those unknown souls who share a similar unknowing as me.

So, hello friends and followers, I look forward to learning with you.

Hello

Just wanted to say hi. Will have more later.
